What the Critics Are Saying...

The Samsung Galaxy Ace Style suffers from poor battery life and is beaten in pretty much every department by rival entry-level phones.

- Chris Barraclough, Recombu

The Galaxy Ace Style is close to the bottom of the low-end Android spectrum. It’s a place that has started getting saturated with very good devices recently, and the most notable rivals to the Galaxy Ace Style now come with a Motorola logo on their back. The Moto E is the first one that comes...

Critic Reviews

Uninspired design with terrible battery life and ccasional glitches

Samsung's Galaxy Ace phones used to be one of the better budget phones around, which wasn't really saying much. However, these days you can pick up a slick, fast, 4G-enabled phone for under £100, so the Galaxy Ace Style seems rather clunky and pointless. It's fine for basic use despite that...More

Samsung's Galaxy Ace phones used to be one of the better budget phones around, which wasn't really saying much. However, these days you can pick up a slick, fast, 4G-enabled phone for under £100, so the Galaxy Ace Style seems rather clunky and pointless. It's fine for basic use despite that terrible battery life, but you can do plenty better at this price point.

Affordable, but lags behind the competition in terms of value for the money

The Galaxy Ace Style is close to the bottom of the low-end Android spectrum. It’s a place that has started getting saturated with very good devices recently, and the most notable rivals to the Galaxy Ace Style now come with a Motorola logo on their back. The Moto E is the first one that comes to mind - it has just launched for a similar price across the globe, and it touts a bigger, higher-res display with vivid and better-looking colors, plus it also runs smoother. Add just a bit more, and you can get the 4.5-inch Moto G that is better all-around - with a great display, buttery smooth performance with a quad-core Snapdragon 400 chip, and a good camera. If you’re willing to experiment, we can still recommend the Nokia Lumia 520, or its newer iteration, the Lumia 525, both devices with excellent cameras and fast chips under the hood...

The Ace Style is brought down mostly by its display and a slight sluggishness that comes with TouchWiz, but on the positive side it brings the newest Android 4.4 and a fairly usable camera. All in all, it is a phone that could have looked much more alluring a year ago, but nowadays, the competition has come up with better performers that make a stronger case for themselves.
